The Department of Homeland Security reportedly hired an ex-cop who was involved in at least four deadly shootings — and profanely described himself as having been a "savage" — to train immigration enforcement agents in the use of firearms and other tactics.

David Norman, the founder and owner of TruKinetics LLC of Gilbert, Arizona, received a $27,748 government contract in 2024, four years after retiring as a police officer in Phoenix, according to a Monday report by Wired.

During his time as a cop, Norman opened fire on armed suspects six times, killing four people and wounding two others, according to records reviewed by Wired.

Following his retirement, he reportedly told The Modern Cop podcast in 2021 that he'd been a "f****** savage," saying, "I wanted those experiences. I was super aggressive.". Neither DHS nor Norman immediately returned inquiries from The Independent.

2. Most military people, and police officers, who

have killed another human being in the line of duty, feel almost honor bound not to talk about this experience. They feel some level of remorse about killing another human being, even in life or death situations.

The sick fucks -- or people who make up stories about their adventures -- are the ones who brag about it.
